[QUOTE="InsufferableCynic, post: 45355, member: 4285"] Of course the people who went through them have trouble fitting in. Autism is correlated with high intelligence. You don't need a conspiracy theory. I went to an academically selective high school and it was for the most part normal, we just had some extra resources and opportunities and would do things like come first in the nationwide maths competition. I also remember having a traumatic home life and it seriously adversely affecting my abilities at school, to the point where on paper I'm more of a screw up than my non-gifted friends. I went to a Christian primary school, and had largely the same experience. I doubt it has anything to do with climate change since this was in the 1990s where climate change hysteria was pretty low and most people didn't care about it except for environmentalists. The impression I got was that most of my teachers were talking about pollution, landfill, chemical waste, and other stuff that was a major focus of the 1980s and 1990s. There's a lot less controvercy around that stuff than there is around climate change, so I expect even the most fundamentalist christian (this was a pro-creationism anti-evolution fundamentalist school) to accept and be on board with the idea that we were trashing the planet at the time, in the more traditional sense.
